Castellanos said "it would mean a lot" to reach 100.

Sep 29 2017 - Daniel Norris LHP Daniel Norris allowed two hits over five scoreless innings before exiting with a sore groin. "Anytime I tried to throw hard, my groin would hurt," Norris said. "I was just trying to take off and throw strikes. It was good to see I could be more efficient, without just trying to be nasty, I guess. Just getting ahead, staying ahead. Yeah, it was a grind, for sure. I felt it on every pitch. I just wanted to keep going. Even when he took me out I was pretty upset. I didn't want to come out. You're in the zone there and you don't want to come out, but I understood it, for sure." Norris registered his first victory since June 16.

Sep 29 2017 - Alex Presley LF Alex Presley singled in the fifth. He has hit safely in 22 of his past 25 games. Presley is hitting .356 in that stretch. He is hitting .378 in 40 games against AL Central opponents this year.

Sep 28 2017 - Jordan Zimmermann RHP Jordan Zimmerman had to settle for a no-decision, although he left after six innings with a 3-2 lead. He allowed two runs on four hits, walked one and struck out three. He said this shot gave him some peace of mind. "I know I still have it," Zimmermann said. "It's just a matter of going out there and doing it, and doing it for a full season. Staying off the DL, that's the plan for next year. I'm happy with the way this start was. For me, personally, it was a good start to finish the year." Zimmermann finished the season 8-13 with a 6.08 ERA in 29 starts and missed nearly three weeks with neck pain earlier this month.

Sep 28 2017 - Andrew Romine UTL Andrew Romine is scheduled to play all nine defensive positions on Sunday in the season finale in Minnesota. Only four other players have played all nine positions in a single game in major league history. Romine has played every position, but catcher in his career, including three pitching performances. "I would prefer to do it (catching) the first inning and get it over with, but I don't think that's going to happen because we have to rotate too many people," Romine said. "I think the difficult comes in after we get back into the infield, so I'll probably start in the outfield, get all those done. Third, probably first, then it becomes hairy because you've got to take guys out and move them around. Not everybody can catch and not everybody can play first. Not everybody can play short."
